My Christmas List

Surprises are the best thing in the world to me, so writing a Christmas list has always been difficult. If you tell people exactly what you want, where will the surprise be? I've got around this by writing massive Christmas lists each year. I never expect to be bought everything but it gives a huge pool of ideas for my loved ones to dip into, meaning I have no idea what I'm going to get. This year I've been using The Greedy Book to write my Christmas list, which I really recommend! Let's take a peek at some of the items I've added to my Greedy Book this Christmas.

A: Real Techniques Core Collection 1403. Everybody raves about Real Techniques brushes and I've still never tried one. This collection is based around the face, which is where I need brushes the most.

B: Moschino mirror iPhone case. I don't even care if it's a cliché! Look how kitsch and tacky it is. If there's one thing I definitely am, it's kitsch and tacky! C: Holly Golightly Bubble Bar. This is my favourite of all the Lush Christmas products right now. Imagine Christmas in a bath and you've got the gist of it.D: Dorothy Perkins Pink Flared Coat. Coats are my weakness, especially flared ones and ones with furry collars. I actually have a coat very similar to this one and it fits like a dream... but this one is pink! It's like a real princess coat!E: Yankee Candle Christmas Memories. The most amazing candle in the world ever! It smells just like gingerbread and makes my home feel so warm and cosy. We've pretty much burned through a medium jar by now so a large jar has gone straight on my wishlist!

F: Black Milk Tale as Old as Time Dress. Black Milk skater dresses are the most comfortable, flattering things I own. I actually hoped to buy this dress in time for our trip to Florida as Beauty and the Beast is my favourite Disney film, but there wasn't enough time to get it delivered. Fingers crossed for Christmas! Reckon Santa will think I've been a good girl this year? I certainly hope so!

That coat is gorgeous, and I looove black milk! I only have leggings and a skirt though, never tried a dress, maybe one day! I also still love surprises at Christmas and write bigger wishlists than what I'm hoping to receive so my family can pick bits from it and I can still be a bit surprised! :D xo

Ooooh that Christmas candle smells so amazing :) And I love the Beauty and the Beast dress! I don't know if you have Hot Topic in the UK or not, but they have dresses like that for ALL of the different Disney movies! Love it!PS I can definitely see that pink coat on you ;)~ Samantha

Bloody fantastic wishlist Becky, I hope Santa's good to you! :)The RT Core Collection was the first set of brushes I ever got a few years back and they're great. I recently found some amazing brushes on Amazon that are an absolute bargain, I really recommend them if you're looking to expand your brush collection! http://thriftoclock.blogspot.co.uk/2014/11/cheap-unbranded-makeup-brushes-thrifty.html Never thought I'd say this but they've stolen the title of my favourite brushes from Real Techniques! Just letting you know because although RT are good, there are better for cheaper :) Also, that coat is beautiful! :)

I am the complete opposite, I hate surprises and usually opt for money or nothing haha. Have to admit, this is an idea I never thought of and even for me, I think I could handle a give from a list of known gifts :) I think I'll try this next year!
